Hon. DWIGHT NJ. SABIN-Most of those who
have been opposing me in the car company
matter have awakened to a sense of the inev-
liable. and L do not anticipate any further
trouble from them. l am arranging my af-
fairs so as TO leave for Washington in about
ten days, and being free from harassment on
business affairs. expect TO be able to remain
at the capital until the session is ended. My
friends stood by me manfully in our recent
contest, and with the capital now at my COM
mand the new company cannot fail to be
successful in all its ventures We do not fear
any further legal Complications, but if any
should arise We will meet them in the same
manner that we have for the past three years
and rout them, horse, foot and dragons.
Saltwater already shows signs of the renewal
of an era of prosperity. and business is going
to be exceptionally good this winter. My
mind will be comparatively free when l reach

THE TWO UNCLE TOMS.

In the October number of the Forum
ALICE WELLINGTON ROLLINS writes
forcibIe article entitled ''The New Uncle
TOMS Cabin.'' The old Uncle Toms
Cabin" which HARRIET BEECHER
STOWE made famous was the humble
home of cOlored slave, with its little
garden patch in front and row of little
wOolly heads inside. 1t was a small,
uncomfortable sort of a tenement, but
it was usually kept clean and was well
ventilated. The new "Uncle TOMS
is not in the South. 1t is in the North,
and the home of white slave. 1t is not
called a cabin in that section, but is
dignifed with the title of tenement
house. And yet the writer shows it
to be by long odds more
miserable abode than the hut Uncle
Tom of the South ever lived in. There
is the same little room, into which the
whole family is crowded, and is made
to answer the purpose of parlor, sitting
room, dining room, bed room, kitchen
and laundry, but the Northern Aunt
CHLOE can't do as her old Southern sis
ter used to do-move her washtubs out
into the back yard and hang her wash
ing out in the fresh air to dry, or send
Iler children rOllicking out under the
ilue sky and across the green fields.
The only vegetable garden in front of
t1e new Uncle TOMS cabin is a cart of
rotten bananas, which are sold at a
penny apiece. Leaving out the one
feature of Southern slavery, that
the slave was chattel property
ans could be bought and sold,
the t,riter takes the ground that North
ern {. avery as it exists in the tenement
house, of the larger cities is a great
deal orse in its conditions than South
ern s Iyery ever was. The Southern
slave had the satisfaction of knowing
that whether in sickness or in health he

ILLEGITIMATE JOURNALISM.

A Self-cOnStituted representative or
legitimate journalism" who conducts
department in the Sunday Pioneer
Press. and signs himself ''The Casual
Listener" relieved himself of a good
deal of indignation" last week by pro-
testing against the methods of the
GLOBE in the publication of its Sunday
features. The fellow simply succeeded
in making himself ridiculous, and show
ing his ignorance and malice. The
Representative of legitimate journal
ISM made the charge that the GLOBE
was in the habit of using articles clipped
from other papers without giving proper
credit and thus making it appear that
they were original. He cites three in
stances-a feature on picking teeth, one
on peculiar hats and one On variety per-
formers. These, he alleged, were
printed without proper credit to the
papers from which they were clipped.
This assertion was absolutely falSel
The articles were credited, and he could
easily have seen that they were-and it
is likely that he did. The articles on
hats and variety actors were credited to
the st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat, and the
one Oh teeth to the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. 1t seems to be a clear case of
willful lying on the part of this ''legiti-
mate Journalist" Now, the GLOBE
prefers matter of this kind to ''Galayies
of Genius" and essays by WARD LAMoN,
I'D crop statistics, and long tables
of figures, and elaborate decisions in
minor land cases. The matter is clipped
because it is bright, fresh and interest
ing-better than can be secured from
other sources. The wisdom of this
course has been indOrsed by the people.
They want this class of reading. The
GLOBE gives it to them, and that is why
its circulation is several tsSuSand copies
greater daily than the Pioneer Press. 1t
will continue to print them, giving the
proper credit-''in the interest of legiti-
mate jOurnaliSm''-and the Pioneer
Press can growl unit it gets out of
wind. The GLOBE would take no notice
of this slur if it did not furnish occa-
sion to call the attention of the public
to the course of the Pioneer Press TO-
wards its successful rival, which it has
pursued for some time, due solely to the
fact that the GLOBE has grown up under
its very nose and headed it in the race.
If Casual Listener is ''a representative
of legitimate journalism" as he claims
to be, he will take occasion to do justice
to the GLOBE in the same public man
ner IN which he circulated the false
hood,

Mayor Smith.

Hon. ROBERT A SMITH-There is going to
be lively time in the next campaign, and
especially since new law modelled after that
of the state of New York, and at the instance
of Hon. A. J. WHITEMAN. of Duluth. has been
placed upon our statute book. According to
the new requirement it will be difficult mat

tions, and 1 do not see how the old time
methods of corruption can be successfully
employed in the next campaign. Then, too,
in balloting there will be no less than seven
boxes in which the voters must deposit their
tickets. and this may work very badly with
those who are unable to read or write. But
few tickets will be thrown out, however, as
the judges will have the power, if they find

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

The Emma Abbott Opera company played
a most successful engagement during the
past week at the Grand opera house. Miss
ABBOTT drew large audiences at every per-
formance, and it was generally conceded that
she sang better this season than ever before.
One attractive feature of Miss ABBoTT's
opera performances is that she never fails to
surround herself with most capable sup
port. Her principals are all artists, and she
is careful to keep a well trained chorus.

comedian, will occupy the Grand all of this
week Mr.. SEAMAN is one of the most sue
cessful delineators of Irish character on the
stage and, like JOE EMMETT, has sung and
smiled and danced his way into the hearts
of the American public. Mr.. SEAMAN is the
author of his popular songs, "Peek-a-boo"

Mr.. ScASLAN plays ''Shane -na-Lawn'' Mon

Both are good Irish plays, abounding with
true Irish wit and genuine pathos and strong
dramatic situations. The epoch of ''Shane-

lament, one of the happiest periods of Irish
history, and the costumes used in the play
are said to be historically correct. having been
designed by the eminent Irish scholar JAMES

There never was a more universal express
sion of regret over the announcement of
death than that evoked during the past week
by the news that JENNY LIND was dead.
Though a stranger to the concert stage for
quarter of a century and unknown 10 the
present generation, save by reputation, her
death has been regarded as a personal be-
reavement by every inhabitent of Christen-
dom. Her career was more marvellous than
PATTI's, because her success was compressed
into single decade, while PATTI has been
singing for twenty-five years, with a fair pros
pect of singing twenty-five more.
Many of our older population have a vivid
recollection of the sensation created by
JENNY LIND's American tour and are fond of
recalling "reminiscences of it. They tell of
the great scramble for admittance to her con-
certs. of the fabulously high prices paid for
the choicest seats, and the difficulty in the
towns where she sang to get buildings large
enough to hold her audiences. JENNY LIND
landed in New York on Sunday, the first day
of September, 1850. to find that city in a
fever OF excitement over her coming. On the
following Saturday there was an auction sale
of tickets at Castle Garden for the first con-
cert. The first ticket was sold TO GENIN, the

WIsCONsIN'S DISGRACE.

1t is feared that the reporter who
went tc Northern Wisconsin to write up
the dives, of which so much has been
heard. for the Chicago Herald, has been
fOully dealt with, as nothing has been
heard of him since Oct. 20. A reporter
who went to Marinette to search for the
missing man was given twelve hours to
get out of town. and he made his escape
ahead of time. The citizens in that
part of the country seem to be worse
characters than the Crow Indians. If
the state officials are powerless to cor
rect the evils of that locality, the stand
ing army ought to be turned loose on it,
and the miserable wretches wiped out

THE DAKoTA JUDICIARY.

Judge FRANCIS. of Dakota, has been
TO Washington to beg to be excused from
sending in his resignation, and report
says he will probably be allowed to
serve out his term. Judge FRANCIS is
a splendid fellow on shooting eXcur-
sion, for he devotes his time to talking
to his dogs, but when he sits in court he
assumes a trifie too much dignity to
suit the average Dakota lawyer. 1t is
not an uncommon thing for the judge to
allow his favOrite hunting dog to occupy
a seat with him on the bench. and run
out his tongue and pant while an at
t0rney is addressing the court. Under
these circumstances the attorney is
often at loss to know whether he is
addressing his argument to Judge
FRANCIS or the dog. Such dilemma
is extremely embarrassing, not eSpe-
cially to the dog. but to the lawyer.

In every age and every cline,
From wise man and from fool,
The mother-in-law must get her share
Of heartless ridicule.
And hUmor exhausts itself about
The strength of that woman's jaw,
And the power sne has to wag the same,
Possessed by the mother-in-law.

About the mother-in-law.

was sure of his winter fuel and winter
garments and his pork and hominy,
whatever else might betide. If the
old Uncle Tom or any of his family got
sick he didn't have to worry about the
doctor bills. 1t is different with the
new Uncle Tom. One break in days

can never be bridged over. The old
Uncle Tom was sure of Sunday as a rest

In proposing the abolition of this
modern slavery the writer does not
suggest the adoption of HENRY
GEORGES quaint ideas. She does not
propose that these poor people shall be
given homes as charity. She simply
proposes that law shall compel land
lords to first provide comfortable tene-
ment houses and then compel them to
keep them in good condition. The
landlord is in sense the master of the
new Uncle Tom, but, like his Southern
prototype, he is generally away
from the plantation, and turns the man.

rents. First of all, the tenement house
should be built so as to admit so many

sinks and closets and seullery. and
every appliance for proper drainage.
The state is justified in enacting such
laws,for with improved tenement houses
and healthier conditions for the poorer
classes there will be a corresponding
improvement in the class of citizens the

THE WORKING MAN.

The noblest men that live on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who, backed by no ancestral birth
Hew down the woods and till the soil;
And win therby prouder fame
Than follows kings or warriors name.
The working men, whateer their task,
To carve the stone. to bear the hod.
They wear upon their honest broWs
The royal stamp and seal of God;
And brighter are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds in a coronet.
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities of the plain;
Who dig the mines and build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main:
God bless them, for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

His name was Plummer, and he had just

men to manage him and keep him from
clearing the hotel of its guests. The
doctors who were called loaded him
with morphine by hypodermic injection.
and he was finally put to sleep. The
young bride was terribly agitated by
the occurrence and attracted the Sympa-

from the fact that the young mans in
